Oh why not….

This started out as a quick mobile entry from my phone while I was nestled all snug in my bed, but either the screen shining in my eyes or the effort of typing on the tiny keyboard woke me up. Damn.

Nothing bad happened last night that I know of. Remember the little de-tox session I mentioned? Yeah, I started my meds again on Saturday, and sure as crap, 48 hours later I’m having the normal panic attack. I feel like an idiot. I don’t know what set it off though, I don’t *always* have one if there’s no unusual stress to light the fuse. Oh well, I guess next time I’ll keep taking the anti-depressants and just back off the ADHD meds so it doesn’t happen again. I’m selling myself on the fact that since it took twenty-four hours to realize it *was* a panic attack then it must have been a really long time since I’ve had one. I’ll have to do a search and see, but not right now.

Think I figured out why I’m having trouble sleeping, and it’s *so* stupid. I’ve started sleeping on my left side again. No idea why, and by itself it wouldn’t cause a problem, except I *sleep* on the left side of the bed (as you are laying in it) so I’m perpetually balanced on the edge of the mattress. There’s no way my body is relaxing like that, even if I do get to sleep. Now I have to rearrange the bedroom.

At least it’ll make things easier if Critter ever stays the night again: the alarm clock and everything will already be on the other side of the bed. As I mentioned the last time she stayed over, fifteen or so months ago, we both normally sleep on the left side, but it was easier for me to adjust when we were living together (and when she stayed over) so that’s what that was all about.

And now I’m getting a little sleepy again. Whatever.

I’m really torn between getting an XBox 360 and an iPhone. They’re both about the same price now. I’ve been toying with the idea of getting an XBox for a while, but I was always able to talk myself out of it since it seemed silly to spend $400 on a console just to play one game (Beautiful Katamari was the only XBox game that interested me at the time) and besides, I’m not really into the whole FPS format and I was under the erroneous assumption that since the FPS games were what got all the XBox press, that was the majority format for that console. I’ve since been educated as to the error of my ways. And while I’m still not a huge fan of the FPS I’ve always wanted to try my hand at HALO…

But I need the iPhone to stay organized. My Treo is acting up, and I can’t get it to sync with MobileMe or the laptop anymore, so something has got to give.

I’m probably going to find a way to talk myself into buying both of them and then going without groceries for a month…not that that would be a bad thing. A month on an all-Slim Fast diet might do me some good going into the holidays.

Speaking of which, I should probably pay my cell phone bill before they turn it off. Long story, but it’s only a few days late now, I’ve paid the other stuff, and it wasn’t entirely my fault.

That’s it now. I might be having lunch with Nala on Thursday. We made preliminary plans on Friday, but I haven’t heard back yet. I’ll drop her a line tomorrow.

Got to pay the phone bill, check my crops on Facebook, scan Twitter for anything interesting and then I’m off to bed. Again. Maybe. It’s a good thing I’m on vacation…

I envy you: you live in the beautiful mountains of Georgia… went there once and almost convinced my then-husband to just quit our jobs back in Florida and live as vagabonds in the woods. đŸ™‚
